After the settlement of the affairs in Jiangxi and Hubei had a hint of eyebrows, Wang Zhenyu took the time to meet Ma Xicheng, who has essentially become the big steward of the Youth Army. This time I came to see Wang Zhenyu, mainly for the construction of a military reclamation farm, and Ma Xicheng for the construction of two large military reclamation farms in the Dongting Lake Plain and the Jianghan Plain.

Wang Zhenyu's attitude towards the so-called military reclamation farm is actually very cautious, and he does not really want to implement this decision, but the reality is in front of him, if he does not attach importance to agricultural production, then according to the principle of pursuing advantages and avoiding disadvantages, a grain shortage alone is enough for the new regime he established to collapse quickly.

This point has been gradually exposed with the successive victories of the Youth Army, and there was a food shortage in Changsha because of the military disaster, and the Youth Army had to open its own military rations to stabilize the market price. This also led to the fact that after the completion of the first phase of Weishenme on the 24th, the second phase of the operation could not be carried out in time. So when Ma Xicheng once again reported Jihua for the construction of a large-scale military reclamation farm, Wang Zhenyu became hesitant.

"Cousin, if you, Jihua, are really implemented, how will millions or even tens of millions of local peasant households be resettled and turned into workers on military reclamation farms? Do you know how many questions will be backlogged in a few years? Does your armaments department have any plans for this? Wang Zhenyu, who has experienced the so-called "labor pain" in later generations, is very worried about everything that involves collectivization, for the simple reason that countless good people will become the funeral objects of this system. Now that you know the disadvantages, you can avoid it when you use it again.

"Wenzheng, I don't know that you are so disgusted by this matter, and it is more reliable to turn farmers into workers than to rely on the fishery and farmers' associations to protect and guide them. And for us, it is safer to take food into our own hands than anything else. Ma Xicheng was also a little anxious: "We can't do nothing because we are worried about the future population breeding and the possibility of raising lazy people, right?" ”

Ma Xicheng's zuihou words woke Wang Zhenyu from his own way of thinking, yes, his thinking has always been that he is worried that the expansion of party power will lead to ******, and he is worried that the centralized system will blindly implement the ** system, and now he refuses to collectivize the economy because he is worried about the outcome of future generations. In this way, it seems that it is indeed a bit timid to do things by oneself, and the emergence of all systems does not come out of thin air, but all appear according to the needs of the development of the productive forces at that time, no matter how rubbish this system becomes in later generations, at least at that time it was progressive and rational. I blindly suppress it, always demanding one step in place, and now because the youth army is strong enough, I can't see any problems, and once something really goes wrong, I'm afraid it will be a big problem.

It seems that this time he was wrong, Wang Zhenyu suddenly realized. In the past few years, I have been smooth sailing, so it is inevitable that I will be a little arbitrary when I do things, not to mention others, and I am afraid that the interests of the people under my hands are not considered much. Things have developed to this day, and I don't know how many people are dissatisfied with themselves.

Maybe he is really not a politician, Wang Zhenyu sighed involuntarily.

Ma Xicheng thought that his plan made it difficult for Wang Zhenyu, so he also sighed.

Wang Zhenyu was stunned when he heard Ma Xicheng sigh, and after thinking about it, he laughed again: "It's okay, cousin, I agree with this jihua, but the content in it needs to be changed, and it is very dangerous for the agriculture in these places to be completely militarized, and it will arouse strong resistance from the locals." So we changed our methods, the first is to buy the land from the landlords; the second is the conditional distribution of land to peasants; The third is that in this condition, in the next ten years, the planting of agricultural products here will be planned and purchased by us in a unified manner, and as compensation, we will bear the cost of buying seeds and cultivating cattle. From now until 10 years from now, the Dongting Lake and the Jianghan Plain will be our army's military agricultural order area, and it is strictly forbidden to trade with units other than our army. As for the grain produced, a standard should be set, and only those who meet the standards will be paid, otherwise they will be rejected. What do you think? Cousin. ”

Ma Xicheng gasped after hearing this: "Wenzheng, your plan sounds very reasonable, but is it really practical?" It's all an idealized product. ”

Ma Xicheng is really angry, his cousin is now the commander of hundreds of thousands of troops, why don't he think about his brothers at this time, if this is really out of control that day and mess up the situation, it will really be the destruction of life and death.

Although Wang Zhenyu is not good-tempered, he is a person who knows what is good and bad, and what he heard from Ma Xicheng's blunt confrontation was a concern and a trace of worry. At this time, he felt warm in his heart, and naturally he would not be angry because of it.

"Doesn't it have to be reclaimed?" Wang Zhenyu still asked unwillingly.

Ma Xicheng nodded silently: "Without military reclamation, the feudal clan relations in these places cannot be broken, and the food security of our army will never be guaranteed. Wenzheng, this woman's kindness can't come by, and the net worth and life of the brothers below are all in your thoughts. ”

Wang Zhenyu opened Jihua, and Zuihou made a fine adjustment in the proportion, and the land in each county was classified as military reclamation, and half of it was classified as military reclamation. Ma Xicheng could only smile bitterly at this, and then saluted and left to carry it out.

According to Ma Xicheng's plan, in the next five years, a 500,000-strong youth army will be formed on the Jianghan Plain in Hubei and the Dongting Lake Plain in Hunan. A full 15 million mu of fertile land will be turned into the ownership of the military, and the lives of the more than 1.3 million agricultural production laborers and nearly 3 million family members who originally cultivated these lands will also undergo tremendous changes because of this policy. They will lose the right to continue cultivating the land, and all they can do is become soldiers and find another way out. According to the recruitment, 400,000 of them will be absorbed by the construction corps, and their income will prevent at least one million family members from being displaced and starving to death on the streets. In addition, it is expected that more than 800,000 adult agricultural laborers and 2 million family members will have serious problems in their lives.

Wang Zhenyu has been struggling with this matter, and according to his own assumption, half of these surplus rural laborers will be absorbed by the industrial construction in Wuhan, Changsha, Zhuzhou, Hengyang, and other places, and the remaining half that cannot be absorbed may be sent to Xinjiang and other northwest regions to participate in the Northwest Agricultural Reclamation Construction Corps after he completes the national reunification.

But Jihua belongs to Jihua, no matter how perfect your ideas are, there is often no guarantee for their implementation. Wang Zhenyu really didn't dare to imagine how many people would eventually die and their wives would be separated because of his own policy. So he could only tell Ma Xicheng again and again, don't be in a hurry, come in batches, be as thoughtful as possible, and don't make people angry.

Just when Wang Zhenyu was thinking hard about the future of himself, the Kuomintang and the Youth Army, a group of merchants from the north disembarked at Anjiang......

Lei Zhenchun really worked hard this time, and all the elites of the entire Beijing Military and Political Law Enforcement Department were mobilized by them. In Lei Zhenchun's words, you brutes who eat people all day long and don't people, and now it's time for you to repay President Yuan.

In order to ensure that Jihua was safe, Lei Zhenchun even excluded all the personnel recruited after the attack on the Jingshi Law Enforcement Department from the operation Jihua's plan, and at the same time secretly contacted the third party Shili. Because of Du Yuesheng's relationship, Lei Zhenchun did not dare to go to the Qinggang Hongmen relationship at all, but chose the Japanese special high school.

The Special High School was established in the late 19th and early 20th centuries and is subordinate to the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Japan. Initially, the Special High School was an institution to deal with domestic events, but with the needs of the Japanese invasion of China and the Far East, the Japanese government began to gradually change the functions of the Special High School. A rather conspicuous sign is that the officials of Japanese embassies and consulates in foreign countries are engaged in intelligence work and at the same time cooperate with other espionage and intelligence agencies in carrying out espionage activities. The "Japanese Consulate Police Stations" in various parts of Japan in China have set up special high divisions to be responsible for the activities of special agents and espionage activities in the invasion of China. For example, the famous Zolga Soviet espionage case was solved by the Special High School. Before the establishment of the Special High School in China, the Japanese had already begun to carry out large-scale intelligence gathering activities in China. The most representative is the Japanese Black Dragon Society, which is widely active in Chinese mainland. In 1906, Japan set up the "Ijinkai" in Korea to spy on Korean secrets, and this organization made great contributions to Japan's annexation of Korea. Since then, Japan's intelligence agencies in the Far East have expanded aggressively. With the deepening of Japan's aggression against China, Japan took the lead in establishing a special high school in Northeast China for spying on Chinese intelligence.

At this time, the head of Japan's spy in China was Rihachiro Sakanishi, who was the second-generation giant of Japan's spy on China after Aoki Nobujun. Historically, during the period of the Beiyang government, he went through seven generations of government changes but always operated behind the scenes, so he was called the tumbler of the rise and fall of seven generations. At this moment, he is serving as a military attache of the Japanese Legation in China, and the person who represents him and Lei Zhenchun is not in contact with anyone else, it is his proud disciple Kenji Tohihara, whose Chinese name is Wang Lewei.

In fact, even if Lei Zhenchun didn't look for the Japanese, the Japanese would have taken a little action in China.

Although behind this war to protect the country is the shadow of the Japanese, behind their various plans is not to oppose Yuan Shikai to become emperor, but last year's Minsi incident, the Japanese government saw Yuan Shikai's extremely disobedient side. So the Japanese side decided to make some trouble for Lao Yuan, and it would be great if China could finally continue to mess around.

But after the outbreak of the war, Wang Zhenyu, who was originally dormant in Xianggui and was just hitching a ride with Cai Ye in the eyes of the Japanese, actually broke out with amazing strength. first defeated Ma Jizeng in Hunan and Long Jiguang in Guangdong; Later, he simply waved 200,000 troops to easily take Hubei and Jiangxi, although there was a suspicion of taking advantage of the situation. But Mr. Wang's expansion has exceeded the bottom line that the Japanese can afford. Moreover, the Japanese were very surprised to find that they did not know Wang Zhenyu at all, and they had no contact and could not contact it, so it was naturally safer to destroy such an existence.

"We must not allow such a halfway general to live, otherwise he is very likely to destroy the Japanese Empire's Jihua in China," Kenji Dohihara very sincerely suggested to his teacher Sakanishi Rihachiro.
